Yesterday I showed you the Advent calendar I made for my daughter. Today I'll show you the one for my son. It's made exactly the same way, I've even used the same DP (Glitz Design, Beautiful Dreamer Polka). The lid is different, however - or should I say of course - after all this one is for a boy... I finished it last night, after getting inspired by Tim Holtz' first tag for Christmas :)

Under the lid...

My take on the tag looks like this.

Moving over to the department of details... I don't have that cone die. But I do have cones. Real ones, from a larch tree in my neighborhood. I've used branches from this tree as well. I've made my own embellishments by putting a silver brad in a pearl

I don't have glitter either, so I've put a lot of Stickles at the letters (Tim Holtz grungeboard). The word means "joy" - that's what Advent deals with, isn't it?

The ribbon is coloured with 'weathered wood' and 'pine needles'. These embellishments are made in the same way as the previous.
